    Rereading Girl With The Dragon Tattoo before I go see the movie. I know it's surrounded by a lot of hype but I'm just in love with that series. Lisbeth Salander kicks some *kitten*!

    I'm in the midst of reading the kite runner. Absolutely fab :smile:

    Have your antidepressants ready for the end.

    The Hunger Games trilogy is great; however, it somewhat reminded me of Twilight (It's an extreme comparison because I wasn't a Twilight fan—homegirl needed an editor—and well, it is Twilight, so what did I expect?): The first one gets you hooked and then the others leave something to be desired. Book one of the trilogy was so, so fantastic. Lenny Kravitz as Cinna? Hilarious. I pictured Jay Manuel while I read it.

    Loved The Girl with The Dragon Tattoo! I also loved the Swedish film; the American one was slightly tolerable because I could stare at James Bond. I didn't love Rooney in it; I think she's too pretty . . . I wanted to see gritty.

    I'm reading 1984 and Animal Farm; it's maybe my millionth round with each of them.

    Just my thoughts! But keep posting so that I can steal ideas!

    Steven King's novel 11/22/63....I just finished it last night. This has been my favorite book by far. It's not the normal blood, gore...etc that you relate to King like I did (Pet Cemetery, Carrie, The Stand) I would recommend it to everyone.

    Right now I'm on the 3rd book in the Inheritance Cycle, Brisingr by Christopher Paolini.
    I recently finished the series The Stone of Tears by Terry Goodkind .
    I've also read HP along with Twilight, The House of Night & Hunger Games with in the last year. I'm always sad when I finish up a series, I feel like I'm saying goodbye to friends.

    A lot of good nutritional information in here.
    The Happiness Hypothesis by Jonathan Hart (psychology)
    Juicing for Energy (my juicer arrives today)

    I'm reading Jonathan Strange and Mr Norell at the moment too. It's odd and in a world of its own, but totally absorbing.

    I am about a quarter of the way through IT (Stephen King), much better than the film.

    The book scared me more than the movie. The movie was interesting though.

    I'm reading Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy now and really like it so far. I just got done reading a book called A Madman Dreams of Turing Machines recently, and it was amazing.

    I have read most of, and have a collection of Stephen King books. I think he's a phenomenal writer. However, I have been reading "It" for 15 years. Scares the hell out of me. I take it out every 6 months or so and read a few pages, and then I have to hide it again. In the very back of my bathing suit/vacation wear drawer (I don't go in there very often!) LOL Someday I will finish... :noway:
